You need to get off her ass and quit being so judgemental. ...you yourself said you had been there ...so cut her some slack you are certainly on a holier than thou attitude!

if you are in serious pain ask the stupid doc to give u a shot of toradol it is a non narcotic pain reliever and it will give you relief it works for me and i have many medical problems i usually get a good 24 relief and from time to time i need that relief so i can keep my sanity so if you ask for that they should know you are not drug seeking and i am sorry you have to go threw this i know what pain is

I had thoracic outlet syndrome and had my 1st rib removed to fix it. Recovery was hell, felt like my arm was in a light socket and it would shoot electrical twinges through my arm as the nerves reconnected. They had to break it in half AMD take it out through my armpit. Then they had to take out am inch and a half of my neck muscle. Took about 6 weeks to do heavy healing and was out of work for 8. I wish you well AMD hope this doesn't scare you. After 8 weeks I was mostly cured, few twinges here and there, but nothing like before. I couldn't hold a coffee cup. My hand would collapse like with a spinal fusion...cervical. Had that 12 years later. No problems after healing with either. Complete success! Good luck to you on that! Soma is wonderful. Been on it since 1998. I take 1 or 2 aday as prescribed. Only 1 at a time. Don't like what it does to me. Not looking for a high, just pain relief. Others seem to make my muscles tighten up, rigid. Give me a creepy feeling inside. Valium does the same thing, as do most antihistamines. Can only take benadryl or coracidin. I know what works for me. Also on high dose of methadone for pain since 1998. I was on 100 mg and didn't like the hassles with new drs when we had to move with husbands job, so I started tapering off. Got down to 70 mg, then had to go to a pain clinic because my Dr retired! After 3 years they are requiring me to go down to 30mg by June. Fe) I have been decreasing by hf a pill, 5 mg. It is hell. Not withdrawal, just pain. This month its 10mg and every month after. I'm 63! I'm not a drug addict. They say its the state. But its voluntary for them to adopt the policy. Meanwhile I'm dying!

Sk8r00 neurontin works great! I have horrible nerve pain in my feet and hands. It's nit 100% but it help. a lot. I also have a compound cream that I use when I get flare ups. Pain is mostly gone in 5-10 mins! Really! It's got ketamine and lidocaine in it. If your doc won't prescribe it, you can get a tube like aspercream that has lidocaine in it OTC. Try that! Good luck, man. Hope this helps!

U need to quit downing people. Your a former drug user your self stop judging people.even if they are it's none of your bends. Who are you to tell anyone how to be. A former drug addict should t talk bad about other. Drug users cuz you have been their you have known that demon. You judge too much. You will always be a recovered drug addict no one will look at you the sane ever again just like all other drug users. Just cuz it was easy for you to get off so you say and I seriously doubt that it nay be harder for them. Every person who uses drugs are different. I jut cannot believe how rude and meAn you were to that person u commented on. God doesn't like ugly.

In her defense, there are meds I've taken years ago that I can't recall anything other than maybe the first letter. So what? Lol how does she seem look like a drug seeker? The entire reason for this thread is to ask questions about a particular med....maybe to get an opinion from someone that's taken a particular med before. It's called getting feedback and it's ok. I'm here because my neurologist changed one of my meds. He took me off Soma and started me on Bacolfen. Tonight will be my first night. I googled information on the med but came here to get some feedback from anyone that's take Bacolfen. That's what this thread is for. I'm certainly not a drug seeker, eventhough I'm on Methadone, Morphine and now Bacolfen. I have serious medical issues and take these meds 3 x/day. I suppose you think I'm a 'drug seeker' too, huh? Don't be so judgmental of people, especially people you don't know. You don't know that woman's story, now do you? I understand there are drug seekers. Apparently, you know about that very well as you mentioned you've been clean several years. So just because you were a so called drug seeker, doesn't mean we all are. The pain I live with lead me to a scary dark place several years ago. The combination of meds I'm on now has changed my life.....for the better, I might add. I can function again. I didn't drive fit 13 years. I've been driving again for three years. I'm living again because I'm taking the meds that work for me. Yes they are narcotics, strong narcotics, but I take them AS DIRECTED, therefore there is no problem. The lady you judged and berated in front of everyone may be living with horrible pain. You don't know!!! Just because you are a recovering ADDICT , didn't mean the majority of people taking a narcotic are addicts too. Not true, not by a long shot. So worry about your addiction, and leave others alone. If you're clean now, why even bother coming to this thread? Lol. I seeb right through you :-)

Ouch sounds like your so called sobriety includes vast amounts of narcotic pain medication. Please save the b.s. for someone else. Just cuz you're all high and mighty not taking soma I believe you said I know with the list you shared with everyone you are on some medication and if you have surgery unless you can do surgery without anesthesia then you get narcotics.

I am in the same boat as the rest of you. I will just keep it short and say, that I have Lupus, Fibromyalgia, M.S. Cervical stenosis, severe Osteo arthritis, Migraines, and a small cancerous brain tumor. I need narcotic pain relievers to cope with my pain, as well as a skeletal muscle relaxer. My pain specialist switched me from Flexeril, which did nothing at all to help my spasms and pain, to Baclafen 10 mgs. It helps me so much. He also raised my Cymbalta from 90 mgs. to 120 mgs a day. It is for both depression and nerve pain. I can't tell yet if it is helping me. Haven't been on it long enough yet. My pain specialist prescribed 30 mgs slow release oxy for my migraines and remaining pain issues. I have been fighting over a month with my federal insurance for the narcotic pain med. They have rejected the medication request over and over. Today, my husband got involved. Both my husband and my dr. called the insurance and argued for me to receive the med. The insurance gave my dr, the third degree..to decide if I needed the med. Because of Obamacare, our medical decisions will no longer be the prescribing drs, decision. Our insurance will be deciding if we need a particular med/surgery. Obamacare is about saving the govt. money any way possible. Since our insurance will be deciding if we need a med, they will always want the dr. to give us the cheapest med possible. It doesn't matter to the govt. what works best for you. The govt. is not compassionate like your dr. The govt. doesn't care about you, as a person. It only cares about the bottom line, which is saving money. I am sorry to say people, this will only get worse as time goes on. This is socialized medical care. America only has so much money. We can't take care of the whole world without cutting costs. This is the way our govt. decided to cut them. This applies in so many more ways that medications and surgeries. It will cost many of us our lives. A lot of us in pain will put an end to our suffering, because we will be told NO a lot in the future. Guess what? Yes, the govt, will be glad. It hasn't a heart, to feel compassion. The date is March 11th, 2016.
